I'm pretty sure this is the first time that the word "detritus" has shown up in this forum. Kudos to you, but it's so true! JB

This is way cool. What's not to love? It's bold, crisp, interesting...and 100% compatible with every graphic process known to mankind...even a cave wall painting. I may have to cut this into stone...just for a conversation piece. JB

I run SignLab, Corel, AI and Omega. Typically whenever I need to convert one format to import into another format, .eps is 99% compatible. BUT...with that said, .eps files brought into SignLab typically have "double line" cutting issues unless I first bring the .eps into Omega first and save...

There should be a tag next to the power cord plug-in and switch that states voltage. JB

Yes, it's called the wagon wheel test plot, the square/circle test plot, and the X08 test plot. They're accessible via the special diagnostic events mentioned in the manual. No software required. I've attached a few pages from the Gerber manual explaining the tests. I've also included a...

I found another interesting antique cast iron vanity bench on Facebook marketplace and I'm calling all S101 antique experts to help me track down any information about it. I've googled a gazillion keywords and still come up with nothing. The Swans are remarkably detailed and ornate, with...

Hey...loyalty, kindness and respect are still in vogue...society is still a ways off from being totally barbaric. There are still sales people from 50 years ago who have never lost that personal touch, and are still offering that to their clients. In today's world, that "touch" is (or appears...

Facebook marketplace has been good this week. I just brought home another ornate antique cast iron vanity bench tonight with a special theme in mind. Stay tuned. JB

I have no complaints about the automatic kerning, but I think what's most amazing about Omega is the simple method for manual kerning. It's as simple as moving characters one direction or the other a very small amount at a time...until it looks good. In the monument industry, there are...

And that's exactly why sales personnel "should" be skilled craftspeople first. If you've ever had the opportunity to give instructions to such a person, you can literally watch them "build" whatever it is in their head as the conversation drones on....stopping every so often to clarify and...

Ok...so this is where it begins to get uncomfortable. I'm curious how would one begin the dialogue for these these signs. Would it be rude to ask the doctor if he/she has tunnel vision? I'm asking on behalf of a friend who thinks this thread needs a little HUMOR RELIEF! :) Oh, and...

I couldn't agree more about Omega. The very fact that you can "severely" manipulate text (as in the spiral) and still have 100% full edit-ability of the text and the path is worth the price of the software. I also use SignLab, and anytime you do anything funky or creative, it automatically...

We have a winner! It's one of my favorite films of all time...with a lot of deep themes...especially for those of us as parents, watching the last fledgling leave the nest. But then the grand babies begin coming and starts the whole process over again..it never gets old. The stone measures...

Oh, man...now there's a sweet marketing idea: Inscribe a bench at the local beach with reverse text, and when the half-bare hineys go walking about...they're advertising for you. Absolutely brilliant! JB

I know it's not a sign...but it was a lot more fun. The artwork was composed in Gerber Omega and cut on the GS15+. Lettering and artwork are deep-cut sandblasted, with the circle around the sun approx. 1/4" deep. The stone pieces are tumbled blue stone, and can be configured two different...

I'm also a one-man show. I really like Workflow Max to keep the office organized https://www.workflowmax.com/

Always, always, always! I can't tell you how many shops I've worked where they always skimped things like that...and it usually cost them more in wasted time. JB

Ditto for Michael Gerber. I like his "grand fatherly" demeanor on the audio book. We've been doing 5S for a while now, the Shop Floor Series is a wonderful resource. I found my set at Goodwill for just a few bucks. They're quick-reads and informative. Here it is on Amazon...

I believe your tagline pretty much sums up the situation.:rolleyes: JB

Imagine asking the same question after purchasing a new hammer, or a new circular saw. The question doesn't seem as appealing, does it? I've been involved with NC/CNC since the early 80s...back when tool and die shops and production machine shops were the only ones who could afford to procure...
